For those interested NOVA, which usually does a great job with its programs, has a new episode on Future Cars this week, you will have to check your local PBS listing to see exactly when you can see it:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/car/

How will the car of the future be powered? Will it run on hydrogen, batteries, ethanol or some as-yet undiscovered technology? Find out as NOVA takes a look at the latest and greatest in the automotive industry. Tom and Ray Magliozzi of NPR's "Car Talk" fame take viewers on a roller-coaster ride into the world of cars - examining new technologies and ideas about America's most common form of transportation.

Saw it, OK program, except not a hint that the future of the automobile just might possibly be NO automobiles. That apparently is the unthinkable alternative.

Merkel's government is waging a rearguard campaign to delay implementation, reduce penalties and ease the burden on Germany's luxury automobile industry.

Perception: Luxury in personal transport is good for private consumption
Reality: Luxury in personal transport is ignorant of the common good

CO2, WNC,

Good call. Spotting delusion is getting too easy these days eh? We're going to see a lot of delusional, desperate attempts at keeping our happy motoring way of life in place. I give it another 4 years b4 rational thought wakes it's sleepy self up and says "Hey, wtf are you people doing here?"

Freakin' Earth people are strange.

"NPR's "Car Talk" fame..."

Click and Clack may know a thing or two about cars but they don't know dick about "the ghost in the machine".
